Collection: Outdoor Tiles & Pavers

In general, yes. Outdoor tiles and pavers are typically harder wearing for the weather conditions they’ll experience. Additionally, pool tiles or outdoor tiles used for pool surrounds will typically have a strong anti-slip rating, unlike many styles of indoor tiles.

Having said that, we stock a selection of indoor/outdoor tiles that are suitable for semi-exposed areas such as patios or decks. These will often have slightly lower non-slip properties but still be made of tough materials, such as porcelain tiles.

Outdoor tiles and pavers are designed to withstand outdoor conditions - rain, wind and sun. As such, they are typically made wear resistance materials such as porcelain, natural stone (travertine limestone, granite or slate), or even concrete.

Outdoor and paving tiles will often be non-porous (especially in the case of glazed porcelain tiles) and offer non-slip properties.

Yes, there are a number of styles that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage.

Thicker porcelain tiles can work quite well due to their low porosity and general toughness. Similarly, natural stone varieties such as travertine tiles can work well, although they need to be appropriately treated for outdoor use. Terracotta tiles can also be popular but need to be similarly treated as natural stone.

Another variety suitable for indoor/outdoor usage are terrazzo tiles as they are robust and waterproof and will often have non-slip properties suitable for wet use.
